The Quintanas, Week 22: Lunch Dates and Loudness
Filed under: Healthy Families Challenge
Every day around noon, I have a hot date.
Well, as hot as it can get in our company lunchroom, over home-packed meals.
My hubby, David, and I hang with our buddies for lunch. I am David's buddy, and he is mine.
We pals have the blessing of working in the same company. My position is in operations, and his is in shipping. Every day, we meet up midday and share a meal and just hang.
People often ask us how it is that we do not tire of each other. Our answer is typically some version of, "We got married because we love to be together."
In addition to allowing us these daytime dates, we have discovered that working together has advantages when it comes to the Healthy Families Challenge.
One of the biggest plusses has to be the level of accountability that we feel to each other. You see, every morning, I go through pretty much the same routine. I wake up at around 5 a.m. and, once I am presentable, I come downstairs and prepare our food for the day. I make David a breakfast that typically consists of coffee, orange juice and a flat-bread egg sandwich. I then pack myself some cereal, with a banana and almond milk. For lunch, I usually pack leftovers for David and a veggie burger or meatless "chicken" patty on seven-grain flat-bread for myself.
The advantage to our whole lunch plan, other than the obvious economical leverage, is that we know exactly what we are eating (as well as who we will be eating it with). This enables us to plan ahead and eat what's healthy for us.
Let's face it, without that accountability factor, I am sure that we would have a tendency to hit the fast-food joints for all the wrong stuff. You know, the stuff that got us feeling like this in the first place: Double Quarter Pounders and large orders of fries with Diet Cokes. My hubby used to joke with a huge smile on his face that he has the Diet Coke in order to counteract all of the other calories.
We do occasionally leave the office for lunch, but these days, we grab healthier options. Instead of the old choices of McDonald's or BK, we occasionally head to Subway for a low-calorie sub, Jared style, or to Panera for a half sandwich and a small soup.
The other great thing is that we get to sit and talk, just David and me, without any interruptions. Sometimes we talk about our challenges -- which typically translates into me complaining about how unfair it is that he is losing weight so quickly, but how happy I am for him. Sometimes, we just sit together in our car and enjoy the silence, which is not something we hear much of at home.
You know how at the beginning of a movie, they flash that reminder to turn off your cell phone, with the motto "Silence Is Golden"? I typically have to fight off the urge to stand up and tell the whole movie theater how true that is. There is rarely a silent moment in my life. Four kids and a very lively husband does not add up to silence. Ever!
However loud my life may be, I enjoy the moments that we share as a family. Sometimes it is lunch with my hubby. On Saturdays, it is that first moment after Chloe, my youngest daughter, runs out of her session at the Little Gym of Doral and asks if I saw what she did. Cool times are when my youngest son Christian lands that skateboard trick after so many tries, and begs me to go outside so he can show me; the occasional Monday when Beth, my older daughter, shows me up at yoga, because she is young and super flexible; or when my oldest, Aaron, shaves a half-second off his running time and doesn't stop talking about it.
Those are my moments, and to me they are the things that make me healthiest. They give me that extra push to take that advanced yoga class, because I know it's good for me and I want to be around for a long time to enjoy many, many moments just like this.

Tim said...Is it just me, or is it obvious to everyone that this whole "Parent Dish" site, blog the "family cahllenge" and everything is just an attempt by the sponsor - Chef Boyardee, from the logo above - to create an add out of social media.
I am not saying the Q family, above, is fake - but I would bet dollars to donuts that MS. Q did not write the blog. It has the odious fingerprints of a professional marketer all over it. The real person on the video has a much different way of expressing herself - but more to th point, all we have in the blog is saccerine platitudes - not a real faimily life or relationship.
The bigger question is why? My guess is the ad company who sold C-B-D on the idea convinced them that they could exploit parents' desire to feed their kids better. Trick them into visiting a web site that looks like social media - and then insinuate via C-B-D logo that their products are in fact health food for families.
While I do not blame CBD - duplicity in advertising is commonplace, I say SHAME ON YOU AOL - for participating in this fraud. Obviously, AOL is being paid for this ad-disguised as content. It should be clearly marker for AOLs readers.
Final note - the "comments" are more blatant ads, urging viewers to visit other sites. Come on! Give your audience some credit, C-B-D! I will never be able to eat a can of ravioli again.

zoejosh said...You are awesome. How nice that you enjoy eachother's company and it is doing so much more for you. Thanks for sharing your story. Good luck!
marla said...I found this article to be so refreshing about the Quintanas family. I loved the fact that she mentioned her Yoga class.
Kathie Ansman said...I, too, pack a lunch every day and I would like to know how Victoria keeps her veggie burger warm until lunch. I like those but don't take them in a packed lunch because I don't like them cold. Thanks
margie said...Many work places have a microwave. If yours doesn't, maybe a bunch of the employees can get together and buy one...there are many that are $100 or less.
There are also thermos containers that can keep food hot. look online for "insulated lunch containers". Advice -- make sure it is all stainless steel, since those with glass liners eventually get broken and won't keep things warm or cold. I see one from Land's End that is only $12.50. If you get one that isn't big enough around for your patty, curl it up a little and stand it on end. Don't put the whole sandwich in -- just the hot patty.
Jessica said...I read this article and all I can think of is this poor woman gets up and does all the cooking for her and her husband. Why isn't he getting up and cooking her breakfast or making lunch. Marriage is a partnership not one sided. I find it really disappointing that at this day and age so many woman are still help accountable for the traditional "women's role' but also have to work full time. I guess it's a cute story but there are a lot of holes in it.
Eden said...HCG? Don't believe the hype...know the truth. Check out the Mayo Clinic website for info on various diet trends, and more. The HCG isn't what promotes the weight loss in an HCG diet. It is the restricted calories. HCG has not been approved, by the way.
Cara said...My hubby and I wanted to lose weight so we started cooking at home more.. problem was he couldn't cook for crap.. so I got him a great, hilarious beginners cookbook called.. well I won't tell you the name of it here cause some of you will freak out, but if you google "whipped and beaten culinary works" you can find it.. but seriously.. don't go if you can't take a good joke or if you get offended easily...
kajik said...this made sense!
wives with unfaithful, irresponsible husbands has no choice but to eat more in order to forget the mess in their marriages and end up gaining weight, while happy wives tend to maintain their figure to make their spouse happier and live longer for their children! :)

At times the Lady Bulldogs went on a couple scoring runs that was aided by a few errors by the Lady Bearcats, but head coach Steve Beydler said that lack of consistency was the downfall of this match.
"We have to find some kind of a way to stay consistent," Sikeston head coach Steve Beydler said. "That's what we're lacking right now. We have to be good consistent, not bad consistent."
Keyarra Blissett had three kills and five digs, while Casey Palmer added three kills and five digs. Tyanne Townsend chipped in with two kills and Madeline Davis and Mandy Moore had one ace.
The Lady Bearcats stayed consistent throughout the match with the help of Cathryn Heil, Jessica Satterfield and Abbie Warren.
They each had five kills a piece for Dexter with Warren adding five aces, one dig and one block. Satterfield added one dig and seven assists while Heil had three aces, one dig, one block and nine assists.
Kayla Joyner added one kill, three aces, two digs and one assist. Elisha Flanigan had one kill and four aces.
"I am proud of the girls for working hard tonight," Dexter head coach Kris Vandeven said. "It's good to see the girls using skills that we've been working on in practice."
Dexter (15-5-3, 5-1) will be participating in the I-55 Classic on Saturday and Sikeston's next game will be on Tuesday against Portageville.

Plough Inn Tavern (The)

+61 7 3844 7777
email: email@example.com
Neighborhood: South Bank
Located at the northern end of Brisbane's spectacular South Bank Parklands, the Plough Inn is one of the city's longest-standing taverns. The interior of the public bar is historically preserved, whilst the dance floor, exterior stage and beer garden have been designed to embrace the areas new and stylish trend.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: July 25, 1991 from Moscow Mills, Missouri Classification: Non-Family Abduction Date Of Birth: March 16, 1980 Age: 11 years old Height and Weight: 4'5, 70 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Blond hair, blue eyes. Charles had a crewcut at the time of his disappearance. He has a scar on his thigh and a gap between his teeth. He goes by one of his middle names, Arlin, and many accounts refer to him as Arlin Henderson. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A camouflage-print t-shirt, camouflage-print pants with a tear in one knee, gray socks with red stripes, and black sneakers.
Details of Disappearance
Charles was riding his white and yellow bicycle in his family's Moscow Mills, Missouri mobile home, about fifty miles north of St. Louis, on July 25, 1991. He was last seen between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. the day he vanished. Charles has never been heard from again.Josh Spangler confessed to Charles's murder in 2001, ten years after the child disappeared. Spangler was 13 years old at the time of the alleged killing. He could not have served prison time for his role in the alleged crime because of his age. Spangler was apparently involved in drug activity in 1991 and was associated with George N. Gibson and his older brother, Charles "Chuckie" Gibson. Charles is currently imprisoned on federal drug and money laundering charges. Both of the Gibson brothers were initially charged in connection with Charles's case in the spring of 2001. Spangler told investigators that a member of Charles's family owed money to Charles Gibson, and Spangler was paid $10,000 to kill Charles as a warning. Spangler said that he sold drugs for the Gibson brothers in 1991.
Spangler stated that he was riding in a truck with George on July 25, 1991, the day Charles vanished, and that they abducted him and held him in a house in Davis, Missouri for a few days. Spangler claimed he shot Charles in the head with a nine-millimeter pistol in a creek bed near Davis on July 28, 1991, three days after the boy was abducted, and buried the body along the Mississippi River.
Investigators searched a site near Winfield, Missouri in late July and early August 2001 for Charles's remains. Nothing was located. Authorities withdrew charges against both of the Gibsons in October 2001 after learning that Spangler lied regarding their involvement in the crime. Citing numerous discrepancies in Spangler's account, they charged him with perjury in connection with his testimony about Charles's supposed death. Spangler plead guilty to perjury and was sentenced to seven years in prison. At the time of his plea, he was serving a four-year prison sentence for unrelated charges of burglary and tampering. Authorities now believe Spangler had nothing to do with Charles's disappearance. They say Spangler made up the story as a malicious joke to make the police look incompetent.
Authorities have not cast aside the theory that Charles's disappearance may have been drug-related, but Charles's mother denies allegations that she or any of her family members were involved with drugs. Charles's mother describes him as a fun-loving boy who enjoyed telling stories, swimming, diving and bike riding. His favorite school subjects in 1991 were social studies and science. He lived with his mother at the time of his disappearance; his father died of emphysema in 1990. Charles's sister was murdered ten years after his disappearance, but the crime was not related to his case; his sister was killed by her estranged husband, who subsequently committed suicide. Charles's mother still lives in the same trailer park where her son used to live, but in a different mobile home. Her husband's name is still listed in the phone book in case Charles decides to call home.
In 2007, investigators began investigating Michael J. Devlin for possible involvement in Charles's disappearance and in several other cases, including the 1988 disappearance of Scott Kleeschulte and the 2005 disappearance of Bianca Piper. Shawn Hornbeck, a fifteen-year-old boy who disappeared at age eleven in 2002, and William "Ben" Ownby, a thirteen-year-old boy who was abducted in 2007, were both found alive and well in Devlin's house in January 2007. Ownby had been missing for five days and Hornbeck for over four years. Both boys had been held against their will by Devlin, who subequently pleaded guilty to kidnapping and child molestation and was sentenced to life in prison. Authorities initially suspected Devlin could be linked to other missing child cases, and formed a multi-jurisdictional task force to investigate this theory. In October 2007 the task force dissolved, as it could not find any evidence that Devlin was involved with children other than Hornbeck and Ownby.
Charles's bicycle was found in a bean field three months after his disappearance and was taken by the police as evidence. Investigators hope to identify a set of fingerprints discovered on its frame. A photo of the bicycle is posted below this case summary. Charles's disappearance remains unsolved.

Shelf Fodder
Note: In the US, theses are ugly hardbound things with the student name and project title. I prefer the style at some European universities of producing a paperback book with a nice cover, but this has not yet caught on here.
Despite their lack of aesthetic appeal and the unfortunate formatting requirements that make the bound thesis much bigger than it needs to be, I like to have at least some bound copies lined up on my shelf. It is a nice, tangible reminder that some students do in fact survive working with me and have accomplished something.
Some students (typically MS students) don't want to order bound copies, so for them I only have a pdf and that's fine. I certainly am not going to force every student to order bound copies just because I like to have an array of theses on my shelf.
So it's time for a poll:
31 comments:
If my first M.S. student doesn't want to buy bound copies, I'll buy them for him. That's how eager I am.
Although I also like the European style. Maybe I'll persuade him to do that.
Either way, I'm going to have theses on my shelf. - 8/12/2009 12:22:00 AM

I should have said that I sometimes pay for thesis binding if the student doesn't want to or can't, but in some cases the student doesn't want a bound thesis. So for some I just have a pdf.
- John V said...
I have maybe 10 on the shelf, but they are just a few of my old grad school cohort, plus my sister, mom and dad's theses, plus a couple wacky ones ordered for fun, and a few local unpublished works.
Pictures and mementos are taking the place of books on my shelves. My students publish everything useful, and we forget the rest. - 8/12/2009 01:19:00 AM
Sometimes I'm a little disappointed when I look at how thin my bound PhD thesis is. Seems like a lot of work and heartache for not very many pages. But as I normally produce very little of tangible solidity in my work, there's definitely something cool about being able to hold my thesis in my hands. So I agree with you that some bound copies of my students' theses would be nice (when I get that far!).
I would say that even if I have a bound thesis (which I like), I find the pdf copy invaluable.
- Kevin said...
I wish I did have PDF files for some of my earlier students' theses. That way I could look up their research and share it with newer students without having to use the one copy in the library.
- biochem belle said...
My graduate advisor has 2 shelves of bound theses. Mine was added to the collection a few months ago. Plus I shelled out the extra dough so I could have my own copy and give one to my dad (even though he has no science background whatsoever). Maybe it's a teensy bit of an ego thing, seeing my name and my work in print :)
Of course I recently realized that the cost of printing and binding at my grad univ. was ridiculously cheap (though it didn't seem that way when I was writing the check). For a grad student in my postdoc lab, the cost of just binding a single copy was comparable to printing AND binding 2 copies for me. - 8/12/2009 05:53:00 AM
- Greg said...
Well, you are missing a category from your poll - Either is ok as long as I have an electronic copy. Frankly I prefer to store a PDF and print a smaller tree saving copy for the shelf (or the lab).
- Average Professor said...
Thesis binding at my university is somehow <$10 for the hardcover, so not only do I pay for my own copy, but I pay for the student's, and one time I even paid for one for the student's mother.
For my own PhD thesis, it was like $75 and I had to pay for not only my own copy but also one for the university and one for the department. Thumbs down. - 8/12/2009 08:23:00 AM
- plam said...
My enthusiasm level for thesis binding is currently high since the only thesis I have on my shelf is my own. I can see it dropping once I have a bit more of a collection.
Speaking of own-thesis-on-shelf, I thought they were kind of useless, but my advisor did pull out his 12-year-old thesis to show me something in it when I was writing my thesis. - 8/12/2009 08:41:00 AM
- Tinkering Theorist said...
Kinkos will put holes in the side and bind it notebook style for just a few bucks. Of course, that doesn't solve your ugly thesis problem . . .
Since hardbound copies of a thesis are pretty expensive at my university (usually around $75-100 each copy), my advisor would pay for them out of discretionary funds. It seems like a bit of a forced gift otherwise if the students pay (granted, you can opt not to give it and just take the PDF route, but there's a good bit of pressure if everyone else has done it).
I had to pay for library copy, departmental copy, my advisor's, and my own (lots of $$$). In addition, my PhD advisor said I "had to" ask all members of my dissertation committee (4 other professors) if they wanted a copy too. According to him/her, if they wanted a copy I would have to order and pay for it. This sounded a bit strange to me and I would not have been able to afford it with all the other graduation expenses, so I decided to forgo this. My advisor was not pleased at all. Just curious, is it really expected that students will pay for dissertation/thesis copies for all committee members?
I think pdf versions win all around -- less expense, easy to move. If I end up wanting my student's copies, I will make sure to pay for it myself. - 8/12/2009 12:07:00 PM
the european-style is so superior... *sigh* why can't some XSP's make some noise so we can get these?
I like to have at least some bound copies lined up on my shelf. It is a nice, tangible reminder that some students do in fact survive working with me and have accomplished something.
As a grad student, I always found the row of bound copies in my PI's office to be reassuring and motivating. The advisor should always pay, though, at least for his/her copy and the student's own. - 8/12/2009 02:03:00 PM
My advisor keeps empty champagne bottles signed by former students in lieu of printed theses.
Those bottles are from post-defence celebration.
At least they take somewhat less space in the office. And PDFs are way easier to search anyway. - 8/12/2009 02:24:00 PM
Where I come from (a Scandinavian major research university), a PhD-to-be is required to hand down about 100 exemplars of the dissertation to the university administration. As the exemplars are usually hardbound and in my field often commercially published, the exemplars can cost up to 8000 dollars, 3000 dollars of which is paid by the University.
Most of the 100 copies are delivered automatically to the libraries and faculty professors, most of which will not even glance the book. Some 30 copies are freely obtainable from the faculty office on a first come, first served -principle. - 8/12/2009 03:41:00 PM
The best from the advisor perspective are the Dutch ones -- fancy covers, good size, etc ... BUT, most students in my discipline have to pay for all of them (~200!!!) out of pocket.
They look nice and all but all my Dutch colleagues have boxes of their thesis left years after graduating. I am much happier with a PDF thesis and a signed bottle of good Scotch. The bottles get taken down more than a thesis and look better on the shelf. Plus, about half my students made programs for their defenses. These are way more meaningful than the thesis. - 8/12/2009 03:51:00 PM
I think paper copies are very useful for up and coming students to look at also. I find them really useful to show current students- this is what a high quality masters thesis looks like - this is an example of good formatting and layout etc etc so they can see what is required. Doing this by pdf just isn't the same.
- female Science Professor said...
I don't have a copy of my own PhD thesis with library binding -- I had 1-2 copies made at a copy shop, one for me. This was pre-pdf days. Today, even if students want to do the hardcover binding thing, I also have the thesis in pdf form.
Dutch theses, definitely! They look beautiful and there's always acces to other people's work after they've left the lab. In the US I have to search everywhere and there is not a single copy of some of the old students' theses in the lab, be it on paper or electronic. I do wonder how students would react though if they would find out that the costs of printing a thesis in the Netherlands can easily run into $2000-$2500: out of your own pocket unless you find some extra funding!
That is true. I love the European style theses in their cute little book format. It does come at a fair price though. The PhD students in my old lab would have to shell out approx. $1200 for their theses.
I am one of those Europeans with a thesis in paperback. I actually was required to deliver 60 copies of my thesis to the University library. So I printed 100 and gave away copies to a bunch of people, as it was customary. The costs were significant.
I know a professor who accepts pdf files from his students, and then prints it and has it bound on his own budget. - 8/13/2009 02:29:00 PM
- mixlamalice said...
Well, in France we also have these paperback copies. You're supposed to have at least around 10 of them for the University records and your committee and advisors, plus one for the library of the lab. I think I made 25, took a couple for me and my parents, and gave the extra 10ish to my advisors so that they could gave them to whoever they thought it could be helpful (new student or visiting Professor).
It was free for me, on the lab budget, and as far as I know, no student ever pays for these theses himself in my country (actually it was even the institute librarian that made them for me).
I guess "socialism" is not always that bad...
We also have some kind of governmental website where every PhD can put his own thesis in a pdf version, open to everyone who might want to consult it. - 8/13/2009 09:51:00 PM
Definitely prefer the hard copies - they make such a satisfying THUMP when they hit the desk!
Hey, considering all the blood, sweat, tears and tantrums that go into these things, I think a shelf-display is in order. - 8/13/2009 11:51:00 PM
Having been on many PhD committees, I prefer to not be given hardcopies of every student's thesis. Keep one bound hardcopy for yourself as a symbolic reminder of your grad school career, by all means, but please spare your committee members the burden of printed copies. PDFs are more than sufficient for practical purposes.
In reality, the only people who will actually read your thesis are those who will be doing similar research in the future. But since you can't know how many such people there will be or who they are, it doesn't make sense to print out multiple hardcopies ahead of time. They can be printed out on an as-needed basis by those who are actually interested in reading it in its entirety. It will save much money, space, and trees. - 8/14/2009 12:08:00 AM

My bachelor thesis was on pdf and that was just fine for me just because I was fulltime student.
Now I have to bind the MS thesis and I think I would like to do it since this project was made entirely by me (I even submitted it for a poster sesion in order to hang it on my wall). - 8/14/2009 08:08:00 PM
- Acid_Storm said...
By the way, I like your blog FSP, it's just pretty.
- Chris said...
Our university has gone to the paperback format ordered from a thesis publishing house. Our research group usually has new students look through some of the work that came before, so the printed versions come in very handy.
- Candid Engineer said...
As a postdoc, I don't have the pleasure of having mentees' completed dissertations on my shelf. But I am doing my postdoc in the lab in which my Ph.D. advisor did his Ph.D., and shortly after I got here, one of my labmates found my advisor's bound thesis on a shelf in the labmate's office... and now my advisor's thesis is on the shelf above my desk. For some reason, I think this is really neat.

Nimbasa Town | |
Region | Unova |
Debut | Reunion Battles In Nimbasa! |
Nimbasa Town (Japanese: ライモンタウン Raimon Town) is an anime-exclusive town in the Unova region located southeast of Nimbasa City.
Much like Nimbasa City, the town has a theme-park style to it and features a ferris wheel, although Nimbasa Town has been around longer. It is known to have a Battle Club built as a stadium that hosts the Club Battle Tournament.
Ash, Iris, Cilan, and Luke arrived in Nimbasa Town in Reunion Battles In Nimbasa! to take part in the Club Battle. Ash mistook the town for Nimbasa City at first when he asked where the Gym was. Luke then explained that they're two different places. After Bianca caught up with them, the four of them went to the stadium and signed up for the Club Battle. There they met up with Burgundy, Stephan, Georgia, and Trip who were also taking part in the tournament.

This past fall I was cast in Hartwick Theater's production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest". But, instead of doing normal stage acting, we would be using puppets! During the Puppetry in Performance class I took during J Term, we learned about all different types of puppets: the Bunraku style, using masks, we even had a shadow puppet performance as a project! Every morning we would warm up using them by trying to express daily human movements through the puppet. "The Tempest" is definitely going to be a show to see! Contact admissions |

Benefits of Becoming a United States CitizenThe Right to Vote: A Fundamental Right of a U.S. CitizenBeing a citizen of the United States provides many privileges. Voting in elections is one such privilege. New citizens are expected to participate in elections and to adhere to the principles of tolerance and understanding towards differing points of view, which is the philosophical basis of the system of government of the United States. A Chance to Reunite FamiliesCertain immigrants who because of their close relationship to U.S. Citizens are exempt from the numerical limitations imposed on immigration to the United States. Immediate relatives are: spouses of U.S. Citizens, children (under 21 years of age and unmarried) of U.S. Citizens, and parents of U.S. Citizens 21 years of age or older. A Way to Protect your Children's Right to Remain in the U.S.Permanent resident children under the age of eighteen, who are in the lawful legal and physical custody of their naturalizing parent(s), automatically become U.S. Citizens when their parent(s) becomes naturalized. Protection in Cases Involving Illegal ActivityIn the event a Permanent Resident is ever accused of an illegal activity, they will remain within the authority of the USCIS and the Immigration Courts, and can be removed (or deported) for such activity. However, U.S. Citizens have the right to an attorney and a fair trial without the threat of being deported. International Travel Made EasierPermanent Residents can lose their status if they leave the country for 180 days or longer, and in the event of an extended absence, must obtain a re-entry permit. However, as a U.S. Citizen, you are not restricted on the amount of time you can spend outside of the U.S. and are not subject to obtaining a re-entry permit. Additionally, travel can be more convenient as many countries do not require Visas of U.S. Citizens. |

Burns: Amar'e & D'Antoni = Made for each other
I want to hold it against Amar'e Stoudemire (not going to miss that apostrophe�not one bit) for taking a max deal instead of the Suns final offer. But I would be lying if I told you I'd do any different. And spare me the sanctimonious speech about taking less to win a title. You'd go for the cash-grab too.
I want to hold it against the New York Knicks for wanting (needing is more like it) to make a splash in free agency. But I can't. They had to do something to justify sucking for the last two years.
But I'm finding it ridiculously easy to hold it against both of them for choosing each other.
The Knicks and Amar'e? MFEO. Made For Each Other.
Stoudemire was so desperate to be a "max" player that he chose New York and Mike D'Antoni. While his Suns teammates were begging D'Antoni to stay with Phoenix, Amar'e infamously threw Mike under the vocabulary bus when he referred to him in the past tense (and then, struggling for something nice to say about him, Amar'e cited D'Antoni's practice schedule�.all that team success and you praise him for his practice schedule?). Did anyone else find it odd that two of his now ex-teammates, Steve Nash and Jared Dudley both publicly congratulated Amar'e on the contract he received? Guess we know what was important to him.
Meanwhile, the Knicks were so desperate to sign somebody, anybody this offseason, they turned to Amar'e. $100 million dollars of uninsured salary to a player that D'Antoni is already on record as saying he couldn't reach as well as Alvin Gentry. You think this is what D'Antoni had in mind two years ago when he left Phoenix for New York? You think this is what the mayor of New York had in mind when he filmed a video begging for LeBron James to come to New York. Knicks fans have been fasting under the salary cap for two years but I'm guessing they'll find Amar'e to be a less-than-satisfying first meal.
It tells you everything you need to know that in the hours after Amar'e agreed to the Knicks deal, the reaction in New York had nothing to do with Stoudemire and everything to do with Stoudemire's ability to lure LeBron. If that happens, all bets are off and the Amar'e signing will have proven successful. When it doesn't, you can start selling the My-Team-Visited-Free-Agency-And-All-I-Got-Was-Amare t-shirts on the streets on New York.

hi guys, i have been thinking about a performance tune for quite some time now and i do my research pretty good before i do anything to my truck since it is my daily driver. with that being said i came across a moates performance tuner. http://www.moates.net/apu1-autoprom-package-usb-version-p-54.html?cPath=94 <-that is the tune. now i dont have very much tuning experience so am i better off passing on this and having nelson performance or blackbear do my computer? any help would be fantastic, thank you guys
I would not attempt to tune it myself. I have seem guys blow motors trying it. I think that it is best to leave it up to the pros. It would be nice if you can find a place that will dyno tune it. Not only at WOT but, a "street" tune. You would see better results doing that over a "canned" tune.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
as if the city wasn't flooded enough, she had to come and make sure there were no survivors. this proves its good to double check.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Ok... Let's see here...
The girl depicted looks a lot like Tim Burton's Coraline. It's a very interesting piece because she is assisting in flooding the city, which could be seen as a loathing for the tiny people in the city. I really find it interesting how both her feet and the bottom of the city are drowning in this flood that only takes up a small circular area but doesn't spread out more.
This is a very fun little doodle. I like it, despite it's cruelty.

Released: Dec 01st, 2003
Running Time: 112
Company: Evasive Angles Entertainment
Mark Anthony (I), Darren James, Others, Amber Roxx, Julie Night, Sledge Hammer, Cherry Poppins, Brian Pumper, Byron Long, Amber Rain (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Alternative
Interracial, your wall-to-wall section or with the rest of this company\'s stuff.
White chicks take on four black guys in each scene here, and it's pretty frickin' hot at times.
Stuff like lipstick on lithe, pretty, blonde Amber Rain's teeth and a plane flying overhead distract from the pre-scene tease, but the bang itself is full of action. There's also a lot of banter concerning the skin colors of everyone involved, which will please those who care enough about that topic to pick this up. Rain's youthful, innocent appearance belies her true deepthroating skills, and anal with her is effortless.
Julie Night does some nice pre-scene deepthroating of a dildo before choking herself repeatedly on her partners' cocks. There's some wood trouble and nervous giggling in this scene, as some of Night's partners seem to be overwhelmed by Night's abilities. The bang does happen regardless, with Night doing a d.p., a d.a. and gargling their cum at the end of the scene.
Brit Amber Roxx does an OK scene here and Cherry Poppins, a redhead, shows that her curtains match the carpet before her bang. It's one of the most deferential and considerate group fucks this reviewer has seen in a while with a lot of politeness shown (one guy even helps her off the floor after sucking all their cocks). Poppins lacks good multi-tasking skills, though.

Anchor light
I have the opportunity to install all new nav lights on my Nor'Sea 27. I'm figuring side marker lights well forward on the cabin sides, a sailing aft white light on a structure aft (this is my junk rig so some structures differ from a Marconi sloop) a steaming light forward of the mast to add along with the sailing aft white... but I can't see anywhere to put an anchoring light except the masthead. There is no other point on the boat from which a white light can be seen a full 360°. At a minimum the mast obstructs 5-10° of view unless the light is on top.
Does anybody see this differently? A related thread recently pointed out how hard it is to see stuff up that high from close quarters, but for anchoring what choice is there?

K-Fed's red hot album
Kevin Federline has decided to name his upcoming album 'Playing With Fire'.The 28-year-old - who is married to Britney Spears - is set to release the album in August and is being billed as a "performer and rapper".
The former dancer said: "The inspiration and meaning behind the title is self-explanatory, because my album is sure to set the dance floors across the world on fire!"
Critics savaged 'PopoZao', the first single from the album - but Federline received two million hits in eight days after releasing it on his website.
He said: "If my album has even half that attention, watch out."
But the star is preparing himself for some stiff criticism.
He added to America's People magazine: "Sure, there'll be initial shock and awe. But they've already said so much s**t about me, it can't get worse."
The aspiring musician will promote the album by appearing at various clubs across America.

Mar 23rd, 2012artisan of dreams. of my dreams Lei lo aveva abituato al sangue per la paura che la sete potesse scoppiargli tutta in una volta, fin da piccolo al suo seno si era attaccato per suggere sangue come nutrimento. Aveva sbagliato mille volte con quel suo figlio e continuava a scegliere errori per lui perché i vampiri non sono bravi genitori, non lo sono affatto. Non sono programmati per esserlo in nessun caso e lei era degnamente vampira ma indegnamente madre…da troppi secoli la sua vita mortale si era spezzata per ricordarsi anche solo cosa significasse essere figlia, come poteva conoscere il significato della parola madre se non le era mai stato concesso un figlio come donna? Nei suoi infiniti venticinque anni non conosceva niente che poteva aiutarla nel crescere un figlio. Nei suoi trecentoventi anni non aveva mai pensato di essere una madre fallita, lo scoprì in quel momento, davanti a quei due ragazzi che avevano un odore troppo invitante e umano per resistere a non assaggiarli.

May 22nd, 2013I had an interest a long time ago in working with photography, but I was never able to get a camera to snap any photos, other than disposables that I never got developed. Now that technology is a bit better digital is everywhere making it a little easier. I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 as a little starter camera, and I also have an nice app on my Windows Phone 8 that allows me to take decent pictures as well as multi-capture (up to 15 processing which isn't bad), but it's still pretty good and I use both of them for different things. I hope to learn a lot from you guys here at Shadowness. I am a full time IT help desk User Security Administrator for the Fresenius company, and I put in a lot of over time so I do what I can outside of that schedule to capture what I love. I also go to school full time right now working on my associates degree for programming, and it's been a slow start, no fun programming yet it's all the boring classes first :P.

firemansouth 5pts ITS A F@$K DIESEL PEOPLE !! PLZ STOP COMPARING YOUR CRAPPY GAS PETROL 87 OCTANE SPARKPLUG CHERRY BOMB FART CANNONS 2WD SAGGING REAR END 2 3/4 DOOR HICK TRUCK AGAINST IT !! YEAH YOUR LITTLE LOUD PIPE LONG GEAR TRUCK MAKES 400HP !! SO WHAT !! IT DOESNT MAKE THE TORQUE TO HALL WORTH A S$%T, HP IS ONLY FACTOR RATIO, TQ IS WHAT PULLS AND PUSH. NEVER SEEN SO MANY HATING GM AND DODGE GAS TRUCK DRIVERS! THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT THOSE TRUCK ARE THAT THEY HAVE A BUMPER PULL AND LAWN TOOL BEHIND IT, NOT A 40,000LBS LOAD BEHINED IT. WE GOT TO GIVE IT UP TO FORD MAKING A BEASTLY OF TRUCK HERE NOW INSTEAD OF HATING ON IT! YALL ACTING LIKE YOU JEALOUS BRATS. CONTINUE DRIVING YOU 80'S AND 90'S MODEL 2 DOOR AND 2 3/4 DOOR TRUCK WITH MISSING TAIL GATES, REAR BUMPER BENT NEARLY OFF BECAUSE YOU PUT TO MUCH WEIGHT ON IT , SAGGING LEAF SPRINGS, TWISTED FRAMES, DOG WALKING, BAG OVER THE BACK WINDOW WITH YOUR CONFED FLAGS LICENSE PLATE , AND LOUD A@& STRAIGHT PIPES THAT SOUND LIKE A KID BLOWING THROUGH A EMPTY TOILET TISSUE ROLL, AND SOUTHERN COMFORT BODY KITS !
Rody Sanchez 5pts It sounds like You feel butt hurt because Your diesels Havent even passed 100k on them. Why are you braggin? I bet you think Your a "Real Mechanic" You're just going off what You Think. Im Goinv off of facts. But thats ok. I'll go longer with a V8 Chevy gaser from The mid 90's than you will go with a new year F250. Take care of those trucks. They wont last long.
Pete David 5pts Yeah, right. And GM didn't go bankrupt, cost taxpayers hundreds of billions AND is currently asking for another few hundred billion from the government to keep in business! Based on GM's recent (last 20 years) history, I'd have more faith in a Fiat!
Justin Bauer 5pts Rody Sanchez I have seen the video I have never had my pickup nor would I ever have my pickup in a situation like that where I would twist the frame like that.
Justin Bauer 5pts Rody Sanchez yeah my 2012 has 36k on it my 11 had 56k on it. I work with guys that have 150k on there 6.7 and no problems. You need to stop reading the net. When you have owned a new 6.7 then talk till then it would be better if you did t talk. Your another one of those guys that can read it off the internet. And then you know. Another internet mechanic! Lol. I have worked them and pulled with them all! And had my 6.7 up against the new cummins same load same trailer and I walk away every time. And I get better mpg. Go somewhere else and blow your smoke you have no idea what your talking about.
Greg Hohenstein 5pts That's it !!!! We can go more if you'd like !!!!!!! I've seen a whole lot more !!!!!
Rody Sanchez 5pts It wont just show ford. It will show Ram Gas/Diesel Trucks. As well as Chevrolet Gas/diesel trucks. And you'll see how you cant even open the doors with so much twist the NEW Fords have.
Rody Sanchez 5pts Justin. You are obviously the idiot. You're proud that you're ford can go 30k mikes before a problem shows up huh? Maybe you need to do homework. And If you cant read, I never said Allison was helping ford. Its working with Chevy on the duramax diesels.
Nick Malinski 5pts don't listen to Derek, he doesint understand ford diesel are the best, and previous international 7.3L's and 6.0Ls go 500.000 no problem with proper maintaining.
Stephen Bagnell 5pts Ford didn't design their new power-stroke. It's from a European tractor company just like their V8s.
mcdiarmid 5pts Have we all forgot how the last 3.0 liter diesel Chrysler put in their jeep line what a piece of junk. And for those who say Government motors are making transmissions for ford your wrong they are working jointly on a 10 speed transmission just like the 6 speed which is shared in many of both companies cars today. Let's not forget Ram or Mercedes or Fiat or what ever you are this week. Ford never took any bail out money unlike two other companies did and are developing their own engines and power trains unlike Fiat or Ram. Fiat is still looking for money from the Canadian government to upgrade plants for their minivans. Just look at the next F150 it looks like Ram and Chevy will still be playing catch up. And if you think Ford is not going to put a diesel into the new F150 you are all mistaken because the leader in trucks will not take a back seat to no one.
Rodney Real 5pts Holly lord ford have save my life, I wish can own f-450 crew cab dually so bad !!!!!!
Justin Bauer 5pts Really Rody Sanchez. Chevy has never made a ford tranny. You need to do your home work. The torque shift tranny is an awesome tranny. And by the way alison is helping dodge with there 8 speed not ford. Chevy more dependable! Lol I have yet to here of any that have seen the 400k mark. I know lots of fords and dodge. I dont like dodge but if someone is going to talk as smart as you. You must be one of those that think ford owns Cummins to.
Rody Sanchez 5pts And Then Maybe Chevy uses the Allison Trans. On its diesels, But thats just because they are more dependable then Any transmission Chevy, Ram, Or Ford could come up with.
Rody Sanchez 5pts They are less expensive because they are cheaper in general. And Then they Have Chevrolet making the Ford pick up Transmissions... Dont brag about ford Making Its Own Diesel, When it cant make its own transmissions.
mcdiarmid 5pts Get your facts straight the two companies are jointly working on a 10 speed transmission together just like the 6 speed in many of each other's cars today.
Rody Sanchez 5pts And dont be Naive. Ford sells the most F-150's. Because They Have 11 Trims. And have been around Longer than the Silverado and Ram 1500.
Rody Sanchez 5pts Chevrolet Just made a recall for alot of its vehicles. Right behind fords "fuel pump issue."
Rody Sanchez 5pts Its Not JUST a numbers game. Specs can Be good ON paper only. A true enthusiast knows that. Sure, Its making alot of power and torque. But why does it have weak Frames?
